Heat Exchangers

Heat exchangers are the types of equipment that are primarily employed to transfer the thermal energy from one fluid to another, provided that one of the fluids should be at a higher thermal energy content than the other fluid.

Heat Exchanger

The heat exchanger is a combination of two words ''Heat'' and ''Exchanger''. It is a mechanical device that is used to exchange heat energy between two fluids.

in a 10-m long center-current flow tubular heat exchanger, a liquid food, flowing in the inner pipe (inside diameter 5 cm), is heated from 4 to 60 C for pasteurization. In the outer tube (diameter 10 cm), hot water enters at 95 C and exits at 80 C. A) If the mass flow rate of the hot water is 5 kg/s, what is the flow rate of the pasteurized product?

A shell and tube heat exchanger is designed as a counter flow type. Water (cp = 4182 J/kg.oC) enters the shell side at 30 oC with a mass flow rate of 12.5 kg/s. A mass flow rate of 19.5 kg/s of engine oil (cp = 1060 J/kg.o C), enters the tube side at 300 oC. Each tube is having an inner diameter of 36 mm and a wall thickness of 2 mm, and a length of 3 m. If the heat exchanger effectiveness is 60 %, calculate the following:1. The heat transfer rate,2. The exit temperature for each fluid,
The purpose of the regenerative heat exchanger is to essentially recycle the heat rejected in step (B) as heat absorbed in step (D). Show why this works for the case of a general working fluid with heat capacity, Cv(T). The Stirling engine (invented in 1816 by Robert Stirling) is a heat engine that produces work through cyclic compression and expansion of a gaseous working fluid, such as hot air. An idealized cyclic process, aptly named the Stirling Cycle, for such an engine consists of four steps: (A) isothermal expansion at the hot reservoir temperature, Th, (B) isochoric (constant volume) heat rejection to a regenerative heat exchanger, (C) isothermal compression at the cold reservioir temperature Te, and (D) isochoric heat absorption from the regenerative heat exchanger back to the initial state.
